My 4 year old took 8 of my 200mcg synthroid (thyroxine). the p.a.-c said it would not bother him. but i am still worried. is there instant side effects or longer?

Overdose: Call poison control right now. They will calculate how much he got according to his weight and they will tell you what you need to do and what symptoms he/she may have. Any time your child takes medications not prescribed for him/her always call poison control right away. The number should be in the front of your phone book.
